Definitions

  • the invention relates to a composition
  • a composition comprising at least one injectable corticosteroid and a diluent, preferable an anesthetic solution, which is suitable for producing medicaments to diminish small fat accumulations on the face and body by causing atrophy of the fat cells.
  • Injectable drugs such as phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and sodium deoxycholate, also known as lipodissolve agents, were also used in some countries in the last few years (particularly in Brazil up to 2002), although there are not studies proving their safety and efficacy. Moreover, these drugs were also associated with severe side effects, including death in animals.
  • PPC phosphatidylcholine
  • sodium deoxycholate also known as lipodissolve agents
  • US2005/0143347 describes a method for removing subcutaneous accumulation of fat as well as aqueous preparations comprising et least one phospholipid and/or at least one bile acid and a component assisting degradation of fat such as riboflavin.
  • An anti-inflammatory compound can be added in the preparation.
  • corticosteroids means compounds from the adrenal cortex.
  • corticosteroid refers to both glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids (as both are mimics of hormones produced by the adrenal cortex), but is often used as a synonym for glucocorticoid.
  • Glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones characterized by an ability to bind with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and trigger similar effects.
  • Glucocorticoids are distinguished from mineralocorticoids and sex steroids by their specific receptors, target cells, and effects.
  • Glucocorticoids have potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. This is particularly evident when they administered at pharmacologic doses, but also is important in normal immune responses. As a consequence, glucocorticoids are indicated for the treatment of many diverse conditions, including allergies, autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disease like asthma (New England J Med 2005;353: 1711-23).
  • Corticosteroids can be used topically, orally and by injections.
  • Injectable corticosteroids currently used in medicine include the short-Acting injectable corticosteroids such as cortisone and hydrocortisone; the intermediate-Acting Injectable corticosteroids such as Prednisone, Prednisolone tebutate, Triamcinolone and Methylprednisolone its derivatives such as methylprednisolone acetate; the long-Acting corticosteroids such as Dexamethasone and its derivatives such as Dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Betamethasone its derivatives such as betamethasone dipropionate, betamethasone disodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate, and others.

  • Triamcinolone and other systemic corticosteroids have strong anti-inflammatory effects and this explains the large use of these compounds in medicine.
  • At Medline more than twenty-five thousands papers are published on injectable corticosteroids and more than five thousands papers on triamcinolone are published.
  • Injectable corticosteroids are usually commercialized in stable aqueous suspension and are also described in the Patent Applications or patents such as US6,395,294 owned by Triesence (exploitation by Alcon) until Jan 13, 2020 for Triamcinolone acetonide in intravitreal injectable form?)
  • Triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension USP (Kenalog ® -40 Injection, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Italy) is a synthetic corticosteroid design to provide systemic immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as other intralesional or sublesional local effects for various skin diseases and conditions.
  • the drug is stable at room temperature and must be shake well before using.
  • Triamcinolone and/or other injectable corticosteroids are commonly used in dermatology for intralesional injections, as well as in other specialties and diseases, such as for joint inflammation and pain. Intralesional corticosteroids injections release a high concentration of the drug directly on the action site, with minimal systemic absorption. These drugs are considered very safe, low cost and efficient for an expressive number of diseases and conditions, for the patients of different ages. Few applications and low doses are considered extremely safe, also for patients presenting severe diseases.
  • the aging process is caused by intrinsic and extrinsic aging, as well as changed in hard and soft tissues.
  • Muscular hyperactivity causes dynamic wrinkles and is currently being treated by botulinum toxins; the losses in hard and soft tissues are currently being treated by fillers; the surface alterations are being treated by ablative and non-ablative techniques, as well as by topical retinoids and other active ingredients.

  • Triamcinolone acetonide has been used as intravitreal injection with some complications like infectious endophthalmitis, transient central retinal artery occlusion, conjunctival ulcerations, retinal detachment and potential reactivation of a cytomegalovirus retinitis and posterior subcapsular cataract (Ophthalmologe. 2004 Feb;101(2):121-8., Ophtalmol. 2008 Sep;31(7):693-8; J Drugs Dermatol. 2008; 7(8):757-61). lntralesional triamcinolone acetonide has been used extensively for the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars. Complications are few, usually being local skin color changes, prominent vascular markings, or subcutaneous atrophy.

  • Injections into the superficial dermis can result in initial epidermal sloughing and persistent epidermal atrophy, whereas those in the deep dermis and subcutis may result in variable loss of fat with minimal epidermal change (Donofrio LM. Panfacil volume restoration with fat. Dermatol Surg 2005; 31: 1496-1505).
